Discover why you do what you do in your relationships and learn the secret to loving and being loved.

This transformational book is a ground-breaking exploration into the patterns of relating to one another that we all display towards each other. Christian counselors and authors Tim Clinton and Gary Sibcy offer insights on how these behaviors can be improved and developed so you may learn to love yourself better as well as those in your life.

In Why You Do the Things You Do, Clinton and Sibcy discuss the four primary ways people relate:

• sees self; • saw others; • ignored both simultaneously; • and combine them together.

The authors also gives tips on dealing with why we do things and how our history does not have to define our future.

Why You Do the Things You Do will provide you with regular reminders and pointers to God’s involvement in your journey of breaking free of unhealthy patterns in relationships.

An accompanying survey and glossary are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
